COCOCOZY: Pumpkin Makeover

October 26, 2018
  • Share

Just in time for Halloween, I bought a few pumpkins the other day in a plan to decorate for fall. But as I brought them home, I noticed they clashed with the other colors. The orange didn’t really match my house so I decided to just changed the color of the pumpkins!

I decided on a hunter green, mist green and a powdery blue for my little pumpkins. And it worked out. This little pumpkin makeover perfectly matched my decor.

Check out how I did it below! If you’re looking for a jack-o-lantern how to…I took a much simpler route to making these pumpkins my own!

Mini Pumpkin Makeover

I started off with six mini orange pumpkins and laid them out evenly spaced apart to get a better visual.

I made sure to place a drop cloth and then sheet of paper (or even cardboard would work) below the pumpkins when painting so as to not get any in my courtyard table. I think this is the perfect size for pumpkin decorations.

Next, I chose these three colors – shades of blue and green –  because they would tie in great with my outdoor decoration in my courtyard and the trim on the house.  They also blend well with my indoor decor too.  Didn’t have a clue on where I might use them!

I love this deep hunter green color for pumpkins. I used a high gloss paint for this one.
Make sure to space the pumpkins out far enough apart so that the colors don’t overlap.

Here is my final color scheme – blues and greens. I love how the three shades play against one another!  I used a mixture of high gloss, semi-gloss and matte finish paints to vary the look of each.

By placing them on top of some leaves, I used them as part of a centerpiece for my outdoor table. Even with a little bit of overcast, these bright mini pumpkins lit up my courtyard.

Another great way to add a quick fall decoration to your home is through white mini pumpkins. These are already a neutral color great for adding the autumn spirit to your home.

Been such a lovely treat to see my little pumpkin fall decor every day.  I wonder how long before I have to throw the pumpkins away?

Want a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and invitingWant a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and inviting? Start with these simple changes:
1. Layer your bedding. Mix sheets, a duvet, quilts, and throw blankets to create that plush, lived-in look.
2. Add warm lighting. Swap harsh overhead lighting for bedside lamps, sconces, or a statement light with a warm glow.
3. Bring in plenty of texture. Think linen, velvet, boucle, chunky knits, and soft rugs.
4. Keep the palette warm and calming. Soft neutrals, earthy tones, and muted colors instantly make a room feel more restful.
5. Mix in natural materials. Wood, rattan, woven accents, and stone add warmth and character.
6. Make the walls feel personal. Art, photographs, or even a statement headboard can make the room feel more finished.
7. Add something organic. A vase of branches, fresh flowers, or a little greenery can bring the room to life.
The goal isn’t to make your bedroom perfect. It’s to make it feel like a place you actually want to retreat to at the end of the day.
Save this for your next bedroom refresh. 🤎

Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive.Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive. 🌸
One thing I’ve learned is that every outdoor space needs a focal point. It gives your eye a place to land and makes the whole space feel more intentional.
In this courtyard, the bougainvillea naturally becomes that focal point, adding color, height, and movement without overwhelming the space.
If you’re designing your own patio or garden, start with one standout feature, then let everything else support it.
Save this tip for your next outdoor project. ✨

Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surr Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surrey, restored back to its former grandeur.
Grade II listed and stripped of most of its original character by previous owners, this 9,000 sqft home with seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms was brought back to life for a French-Swedish couple raising two young kids here. The brief: Parisian luxe with a Scandinavian twist, and a design calm enough to keep the grand proportions feeling intimate.
Covet Noir rebuilt what had been lost: full plasterwork, raised & fielded panels, a bespoke decorative ceiling, and added a cantilevered limestone staircase with Nero Marquina cabochon inlay in the entrance hall. The material palette leans into marble and alabaster, softened with boucle and brushed cottons, chosen to hold up to two kids and two dogs without losing the elegance. Antique furniture and architectural fittings were sourced throughout to keep the project sustainable, alongside ground source heating.
Grand bones, calm hand. This is the kind of restoration we could look at all day. 🤍

Which vaulted ceiling style is more your speed? Dr Which vaulted ceiling style is more your speed? Drop your answer 👇
A — Warm wood beams and stone

A great vaulted ceiling doesn’t just add height. It changes how a room feels entirely. The best ones make you stop, look up, and never want to leave.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo. 🖤
